A year after winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award,

Rams QB Sam Bradfords second NFL season was slowed by a

high ankle sprain that caused him to miss six contests. Bradford

passed for 2,164 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions in

10 games in 2011.

Bradford turned in two 300-yard performances early in the season.

In Week 6 at Green Bay, Bradford passed for 328 yards, his third

300-yard game of his career. He set a new single-game career

high in Week 2 as he passed for 331 yards against the New York

Giants as he completed 22-of-46 throws with one touchdown andno interceptions in his Monday Night Football debut.

SAMS THE MAN

QB Sam Bradford threw for 2,164 yards in 10 games in 2011.

Rams QB Sam Bradford added to his tro-

phy case last January when he was votedAssociated PressOffensive Rookie of the

Year by a select group of writers.

As a sophomore at Oklahoma, Bradford

won the Heisman Trophy as the nations topcollege player. When he added Offensive

Rookie of the Year honors last season, he

became just the seventh player and firstquarterback to win both the Heisman andthe NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The other players in that elite group includeUniversity of Pittsburgh/Cowboys RB Tony Dorsett, Texas/Oilers

RB Earl Campbell, Oklahoma/Lions RB Billy Sims, South Carolina/Saints RB George Rogers, Southern Cal./Raiders RB Marcus Allen,

Oklahoma State/Lions RB Barry Sanders and Ohio State/Oilers RB

SAMS TROPHY CASE

QB Sam Bradford

They say sacks often come in bunches,and thats the way Rams DE Chris Longcollected them in 2011.

Long finished the year with 13.0 sacks,which ranked seventh in the NFL. InWeek 8 against New Orleans, Longenjoyed his first three-sack game of hiscareer to help the Rams to a victory.

Long has set a new career high in sacks

this season. His previous best was 8.5in 2010.

During a midseason stretch, Longrecorded at least one sack in seven ofnine games. He also enjoyed a stretchin which he had at least one sack in six-

consecutive games, a new career long. He had sacks in four straightgames in 2010.

With his 13th sack, Long equaled his Hall of Fame fathers careerhigh for sacks in a season. Howie Long had 13 sacks for the Raidersin 1983.

Long led the Rams in sacks, quarterback pressures (15) and quar-

terback hits (16). His play helped the Rams collect 39 sacks as ateam this year.

DE Chris Long

When Chris Long recorded his 10th sack

in Week 12 against Arizona, it allowed himand his father, Hall of Famer Howie Long, torecord some pass-rushing history.

The Longs became only the second father/son combo to each record 10.0 sacks ina season, joining Clay Matthews and ClayMatthews, Jr.

Howie reached 10.0 sacks in three con-secutive seasons (1983-85). Matthews didso with the Cleveland Browns in 1984, andMatthews, Jr. reached 10.0 for the Packers in each of his first twoNFL seasons.

FAMILY BUSINESS

DE Chris Long

Prior to Week 7, the Rams made a

move to upgrade their receiver corps

as they sent an undisclosed draft pick

to the Denver Broncos in exchange for

WR Brandon Lloyd.

The move has paid immediate divi-

dends. Lloyd caught six passes for 74

yards in his St. Louis debut against

Dallas, and he totaled 51 receptions for

683 yards and five touchdowns after

joining the Rams.

A nine-year veteran, Lloyd was reunit-ed with Rams Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels, under whom

he had a breakout season in 2010.

While playing in McDaniels offense, Lloyd posted career highs in

receptions (77), receiving yards (1,448) and touchdown catches (11).

He led the NFL in receiving yards last season as he was named to

his first Pro Bowl of his career.

Lloyds 2011 totals, including his time in Denver, included 70 passes

for 966 yards in four games with the Broncos and 11 in St. Louis.

Lloyds career totals include 311 receptions for 4,784 yards and 31

touchdowns.

WELCOMED ADDITION

S Quintin Mikell, who signed with the

Rams as a free agent this summer,

provided an impact on the St. Louis

defense. The nine-year veteran was

one of three Rams defenders to start

all 16 games, and he was a part of five

takeaways this season.

Mikell finished second among Rams

with 100 tackles, trailing only James

Laurinaitis in stops. Mikell also hadone sack, two interceptions and four

forced fumbles.His interception in

Week 10 led to a Rams touchdown

against Seattle.

Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles, boasts

career totals of 5.0 sacks and 12 interceptions.

WELCOME ABOARD

S Quintin Mikell celebrates an inter-ception with his teammates.

If you want to find Rams MLB James Laurinaitis on the football field,

one can often simply follow the ball because the third-year pro seemsto always be around it. Laurinaitis was again the Rams leader in

tackles as he racked up 142 in his third NFL season. It was his third-consecutive 100-tackle season.

Laurinaitis has proven to be a valuable defender against both the run

and the pass. He recorded 3.0 sacks and two interceptions this sea-

son, and he was second among Rams with eight passes defensed onthe year. He also had four quarterback pressures, two quarterback hits

and one fumble recovery.

Laurinaitis, due in part to his ability to play the run and pass at a high

level, rarely comes off the field. He played a team-high 1,052 snapsin 2011.

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again finds himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers.

WR/PR Nick Miller was preparing to

spend Thanksgiving with his family in

Arizona when he got a call to head to St.

Louis to join the Rams, and Miller made

a big impact just a few days later in his

Rams debut.

In the first quarter of the Rams Week

12 game against the Cardinals, Miller

returned a punt 88 yards for a touchdown.

The score was Millers first of his career

and is tied for the third-longest punt return

in Rams history. It was the first punt

returned for a touchdown by a Ram since

Dante Hall did so in 2007.

Miller, who spent parts of three seasons with the Oakland Raiders,

was on the Rams roster for two weeks earlier this season but didnt

appear in a game with St. Louis until Week 12.

RETURN TO SENDER

WR/PR Nick Miller

The Rams used the 14th overall pick in lastyears draft on a young pass rusher who theyhoped would help them get after the quarter-back, and DE Robert Quinn showed why hewas highly coveted in April.

On the season, Quinn recorded 5.0 sacksand finished second among Rams with 14quarterback hits, trailing only Chris Longs16. Quinn logged three quarterback pres-sures, two passes defensed and forced afumble during his rookie campaign.

In addition to his role on defense, Quinn was an asset on specialteams. Against the Bengals in Week 15, he partially blocked a punt,which was the third time this season he either blocked or partiallyblocked a punt. In Week 8, Quinn blocked a punt that led to a Ramstouchdown and sacked Drew Brees. Quinn was named NFC SpecialTeams Player of the Week for his efforts against the Saints.

Quinn tied Sean Gilbert (5.0 in 1992) for the third most sacks by arookie in Rams history.

RUSHING ROBERT

DE Robert Quinn

Rams CB Josh Gordy led the Rams with

three interceptions in 2011, including one

in two of the teams final three games.

Gordy started nine games on the season.

The Rams signed him to their practice

squad prior to Week 1 and signed him to

the active roster in Week 3. Gordy previ-

ously spent time with Green Bay and

Jacksonville. He was on the Packers

roster during the teams Super Bowl run

late last season.

His 2011 totals included 53 tackles and

three passes defensed in addition to his three interceptions. His first

career interception came in St. Louis win over New Orleans.

In his 12th NFL season, DE James Hall continued to be a rock for the

Rams defense. He finished second among Rams with 6.0 sacks this

season, and he had 52 tackles, including four for loss, and 13 quar-

terback hits on the year. In Week 11, he blocked a potential game-

winning field goal to help the Rams pull out a victory in Cleveland.

Hall now has 63.0 career sacks. Among active players, Hall ranks

15th in career sacks. His 10.5 sacks in 2010 was his second-highest

single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished last sea-

son ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.

A HALL OF A PLAYER

DE James Hall had 6.0 this season and led all Rams defensive linemen in tackles in his 12th NFLseason.

ished fourth on the team in specialteams tackles with 11 on the year.

In Week 8 against New Orleans,Stewart notched his first intercep-tion of his career, and he returned

the pick 27 yards for a touchdown.

Stewart joined the Rams as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2010.He contributed on special teams and defense as a rookie before win-ning the starting strong safety job this season.

Rams P Donnie Jones boasts one ofthe strongest legs in the NFL, and his

deep, high kicks have been a weapon

for St. Louis in his five seasons with

the club.

This season, Jones set a new fran-

chise record for career punts. He now

has 449 punts as a Ram. He passed

Dale Hatcher to set the new team

record. Jones gross average of 46.6

yards per punt as a Ram is tops in

team history.

Since joining the Rams, Jones hasplaced 133 punts inside the opponents 20 yard line. Earlier this

season, he passed Hatcher for the most such punts in team history.

LB Chris Chamberlain took over as the teams starting weakside line-

backer in Week 4 and enjoyed his best season as a pro. He posted

a career-high 84 tackles, which ranked fourth among Rams. He also

recorded two sacks and an interception. Chamberlain started 13

games on defense and was a major contributor.

In 2009 and 2010, Chamberlain led the Rams in special teams tack-

les, and although his increased workload on defense meant a lighter

load in the kicking game, he still pitched in seven special teams

tackles.
